I've heard that the beach at Marriott Los Suenos is awful. What would be the best and closest beach? Some have said Playa Blanca but seems that it is a private beach connected with some hotel. Does anyone know if you can drive to this beach and whether it is public? Or any other suggestions would be appreciated!

If you have never been to a black sand beach it will be shocking for you - 99% of the beaches in Costa Rica are not what you expect. I found the beach at Los Suenos tobevery adequate - you can drive down to Jaco about 10 minutes - I personally do not care for Jaco but some people love it. If you are looking for beaches like in the Caribbean they are few and far between in Costa Rica.
